Talk:Petrocephalus arnegardi

Request to update link

On behalf of African Parks via the Wyss Foundation, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am submitting a request to have "Odzala National Park" changed to "Odzala-Kokoua National Park", the park's official name. Since the Wikipedia article has been moved (see Talk:Odzala-Kokoua National Park), I am trying to update links throughout the encyclopedia, but I don't edit articles directly because of my conflict of interest. I am not looking to add a link, I'm only looking to have the existing link/text corrected. Thank you in advance. Inkian Jason (talk) 22:44, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

I need a source showing the new hyphenated name. Spintendo      23:31, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

@Spintendo: Sure, I'm only looking to update the caption in the infobox, which is based on the information of the image at Wikimedia Commons, but this source says, "Photographs of type specimens of Petrocephalus arnegardi sp. n. from Odzala-Kokua National Park, Congo River, Republic of the Congo." This source might also help. Thanks for reviewing this request. Inkian Jason (talk) 01:39, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

@Inkian Jason:The caption on the article says one thing. The text in your request says the exact same thing. As there is nothing which hasn't already been updated 3 years ago, and seeing as how I am not a WP:MINDREADER, your request is declined. Regards, Spintendo      02:48, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm looking to have the link changed (to bypass the redirect), not the text. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:01, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 Already declined Then if it's the redirect you want changed, I suggest your request be made on the redirect page. Spintendo      16:26, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jts1882: Are you comfortable updating the link to the park here as well? Inkian Jason (talk) 17:12, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

@Inkian Jason: Let's assume for a minute that I know nothing, and you needed to explain to me how to add a picture to the infobox. You would explain how I would click edit and then add the jpg file after the picture parameter. Now then, I would be fascinated to know exactly how you'd like this change to be made that you're now requesting. Please go ahead in the space below and explain to me, step by step, how this change is to be carried out. Spare no detail — I want to be sure to hear every single step. Go right ahead.

Another editor made the change. Thanks. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:34, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Spintendo, following up to your question as I think I see what you're looking for here. Here's how I should have explained my request: After clicking on the "edit source" tab to view the article's markup, change "[[Odzala National Park|Odzala-Kokua National Park]]" to "[[Odzala-Kokua National Park]]" in the "image_caption" parameter to remove the redirect, as this is no longer needed following the page's move from Odzala National Park to Odzala-Kokoua National Park. I hope this makes sense, and I'll try to offer more simple explanations of what I'm requesting in the future.

Thanks for your help with related edit requests. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:45, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
